ætherreal

So, apparently I've started an Sims 2 LJ page...

I'm not exactly sure yet exactly what I'm going to turn this page into, but it will be a supplement to my Sims 2 creations and writings, if any, like oh so many other sims livejournals.

The site is based around the concept of my main 'hood, a place separate in place and time where beings from other worlds are brought to live out their lives together. Many are historical, others from legend and characters only imagined on our world. The deus ex maxima of this realm is a personified form of the world itself, called Æther.

Things & styles likely to be here: mostly bodyshop content (i.e., probably nothing you can get in build/buy mode), fantasy, Egyptian/Greek/Celtic/early middle ages/historical/tribal/pre-contact Native American items (basically any culture before it was conquered by another), recreation/interpretation of fictional characters, Steampunk, Art Nouveau, grungy futuristic/post-apocalyptic, and probably much messing around with the English language with many freely-given opinions.

My Policy: I do not make any items in a vacuum, nor do I share anything I would desire to hoard for myself. :) Feel free to use, recolor, and redistribute anything of "mine" as long as none of it ever ends up on any paysite. I find involving money in the exchange of freely made user-generated content for a game that we all already paid for just plain unethical. Credit is appreciated. And I would of course love to hear about anything you made off of my pieces, but it's not required by any means.

I do honestly try to give credit to anyone who inspired me or who's content I've utilized in my own creations. If you feel I neglected to mention something, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your time here and/or find it somewhat helpful/useful.

Best,
Dominiquex

Hello! Not sure how many people frequent the site, but just wanted to offer some warning/explanation of future/recent past spotty updating. I'm in grad school and that has gotten busier lately, but I've also recently experienced some big changes in my personal life including an unexpected move. I'll get back to creating and to posting as soon as I'm able.

Best,
Dominiquex

In my case, the answer seems to be something like this...

Finished, tested, photo-ed, and loaded the results of my project to make non-default replacement face templates from the lovely work FantasyRogue and Katu have done. You should check their work out here, here, and here.

I've finally had some success with my project to work with Argon's tutorial on doing non-default replacement face templates - as in, having more than 27 face templates in your Bodyshop/CAS sims bin! It still requires further testing, but it seems that I've worked through some of the kinks in understanding.

The text you see is still almost entirely based off of Argon's tutorial, but I've clarified through trial and error a few of the more confusing parts for the non-awesome such as myself. :wink: Sadly, no pictures currently, but I will add a full written tutorial with pics for upload once I'm sure I have the process worked out. I would suggest having at least passing comfort with SimPE before attempting this, as it's rather tedious and somewhat finicky. I'll try and do my best to help with pictures later. :)( Read more... )

Who can say how the planes of existence came into being? What force guides the creation of life in the vastness of inert matter? At yet, there is one realm on the verge of existence...( Read more... )

So I only have about a million+ projects planned, but hopefully this will help me keep track of them... If anyone would be interested in collaborating with me on something here, feel free to let me know. :) ( Read more... )
